When Astro is the right answer.

Astro isn't the right tool for every build. It earns its place when these are true.

01

SEO + AEO are existential

Content-led sites where being found, ranked and cited by AI is the whole game.

02

Near-static performance

Marketing teams who want pages that load almost instantly, with minimal JavaScript by default.

03

Islands, not everything

Sites that want targeted interactivity only where it's needed — not React running on every page.

Questions we get about Astro.

Why Astro over Next.js?

Astro is the right call when content is the product. You ship pure HTML with zero JS by default, which means near-instant loads and clean markup agents love to cite. Pick Next.js when you need app-grade features.

Can we mix React components in?

Yes — Astro 'islands' let you drop React, Vue or Svelte components onto any page. They only ship the JS they need, where they need it. Best of both worlds.

How does the 1:1 migration work?

We mirror your existing IA and content on Astro, port URLs with 301 redirects, and QA behind a holding domain before flipping DNS. No design changes — same site, much faster.

Where does it host?

Cloudflare Pages or Vercel for the static build, with content sourced from Sanity, Contentful or markdown. We pick the combination that matches your team's workflow.

How is it for AEO?

Excellent. Pages render as fully-formed HTML on the server, with schema, semantic markup and Open Graph baked in. Agents see your content in the same shape humans do — no hidden JS rendering steps.
